Classes disrupted during second day of strike at USP

Staff want USP to act now

A few classes have been disrupted at the University of the South Pacific as about 186 staff members continued on strike today.

This was highlighted by the USP Staff Union General Secretary Reuben Colata to fijivillage News.

Colata says some tutorials were not held on Friday.

He says the strike has had an impact on students, and stakeholders, and USP needs to act now.

He says they are pushing for the terms of reference of the investigations into the Vice Chancellor Professor Pal Ahluwalia that needs to be released as soon as possible.

Colata says they are banking on the Fiji government to intervene since they are the biggest donor to USP.

We have sent questions to the University. They have not responded since Friday.
